It sucks City got thrashed, but 5 goals were really unacceptable. They're so fucking dump during second half. You know, Akanji shit, Foden shit, and almost everyone in the squad gave no contribution. Glad Haaland scored one goal, though he got a sarcasm by Arsenal fans. LMAO.
The game against Madrid is not gonna be an easy game, and doubted them to win with their current squad. Lack of sharpness, shaky defense, inconsistent transformation from attack to dev, and many more.
There might be plenty of reasons why they lost, and no positivity showed by Pep's squad.
The Man City squad even seemed to play less confident in the second half. I don't know how, but mentally I see Man City starting to weaken this season. It seems like this team was really surprised by their own deteriorating performance which made their mentality also decline. They are not used to losing in the last few seasons but this season Man City is full of quite bad results compared to the previous season. Even Pep, who is usually able to find solutions in difficult situations, is still unable to create these solutions.

In the UCL against Real Madrid it will be very difficult to predict. because currently Real Madrid is also experiencing the same phase as Man City, namely there is instability in their performance. In fact, yesterday Real Madrid also lost to a mediocre team, namely Espanyol.
On the other hand, Real Madrid's performance in the last few matches has not been satisfactory. A big defeat against Barcelona in the Spanish league and a defeat against a weak team like Espanyol are sending the same message to the team.
